Lower back pain quickly gone!

I have suffered from chronic lower back pain for almost 20 years.

I am pleased to report that I’ve had great success with PEMF. I borrowed an A9 unit from a friend and did two 6-hour treatments at highest power setting. I noticed almost immediately an improvement, even after the first treatment. The second treatment I did the following day. My pain level dropped from a typical five to seven to about a one. What’s even more amazing is that my back did not hurt even after a hard physical day of work which would typically have me on the floor at an eight or nine level of pain doing about 20 minutes of stretching to relieve the tension and agony! I can truly and honestly say that it has made a vast and immediate improvement.

After 1 week almost pain free, I decided to purchase the C5 unit. I used four 2x2 coils and tied them into square pattern. I slid the units under my bed sheet placed right at my low back region. I use the Omni protocol on highest intensity that night for about 8 hours.

That was 3 days ago. What I have noticed since then is that it appears my sleep cycle has been disturbed. The night I used it I feel like I was breathing a little heavy, restless and struggled to stay asleep. I have also had issues maintaining deep sleep for the last two nights without using it. Almost like it interrupted my circadian rhythm?

My pain level is still very low, but I have also noticed that my lower back area in general actually feels a little more stable. Feels like the entire area is a little tighter and fuller. Maybe this is because there is more fluid exchange and neural activity due to the treatment? I’m not sure, it’s like the pumped feeling after working out. Can anyone shed some light on what’s going on physiologically?

Welcome to the small crowd of ICES users!

Using the highest setting for intensity is, especially during sleep, not advised. Moist people start with 8-10. During Sleep one has to try what works and does not disturb sleep. I would not go beyond 11 in most cases.

Its great to hear that it worked for you!!! thanks!

Additional advice: Only a small number of people, about 1% to 2%, need full power, and then, not for very long.

About 80-90% of the time when people report that ICES-PEMF did not work for orthopedic pain, or there were negative effects or sensations, the solution is to use less power.

Definitely: too much is too much.

I suggest dialing the power back to 9 or 10 at most, or lower if you intend to sleep on it. Then, only increase the power when you really need it. And not forever. Just while you need it.

The best long term outcomes always result from a use pattern of lower power for more frequent and longer duration daily use. The theory is: give your tissues time to gently but fully heal.

the C5 is amazing. I use it with deep field coils almost every night. I use it on my prostate, my penis, my back. Sometimes my jaw where I have a bit of residual pain.

For eyes, I use single coils on a low setting.

PEMF has been totally incredible for me in so many ways.
